FDA Expands Poisoning of Americans with StatinsTuesday, February 09, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The FDA under the Obama administration is proving no different, maybe even worse, than the Bush and Clinton versions. It is now allowing the sales of Crestor to prevent heart disease in people who do not have cholesterol problems. Remember, this is the drug that FDA whistleblower Dr. David Graham told Congress was too dangerous to be on the market for any reason. Introducing the Wellness Resources Daily Prenatal Multi VitaminMonday, February 08, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Wellness Resources has set a new quality standard for prenatal nutrition with the introduction of our Daily Prenatal Multi Vitamin.

Preparation for pregnancy, pregnancy, and lactation are vital times to ensure you have proper nutrition. Gene setting are established in your child that can determine health for a lifetime. Vital fine-quality nutrients are a key foundation of health for you and your child. Friendly Flora Boosts ImmunitySunday, February 07, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have shown that disruption of the friendly flora in your digestive tract can cause adverse changes to your immune system in other areas of your body. The researchers focus on how repeat use of antibiotics weakens your overall immune system and makes you much more at risk for new infections. Eat Low Carb After Exercise to Improve Insulin ResistanceSaturday, February 06, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study shows that the kind of meal you eat after you do aerobic exercise can make a big difference in helping your body metabolize blood sugar more efficiently. This is a very important issue since overweight Americans are plagued by insulin resistance in combination with leptin resistance – a clear path to eventual type II diabetes. Snacking Depresses Your Immune SystemFriday, February 05, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) German researchers have identified a highly relevant new aspect of immunity. When you haven’t eaten for a while then insulin levels drop and unique genes are activated that directly stimulate the production of powerful antimicrobial peptides, in turn destroying germs by dissolving their cell walls. Conversely, snacking raises insulin which then prevents this aspect of immunity from activating. This is the first time that a powerful immune system mechanism has been directly linked to when you eat. How Exercise Improves Cardiovascular HealthThursday, February 04, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The way modern medicine treats cardiovascular patients you would think that anyone with a problem is so brittle they need to be considered a humpty-dumpty about ready to fall off a wall. This logic is extended to exercise wherein individuals are cautioned not to overdo it. A new study shows that it is the force of the blood moving through your circulation that actually triggers various gene signals that are highly cardiovascular protective. Magnesium Helps Relieve AsthmaWednesday, February 03, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) There is an epidemic of asthma in the United States. And magnesium is a common mineral deficiency, especially in the typical processed and junk food diets of so many of the children and young adults with asthma. A new study shows that those who took 370 mgs of magnesium per day had significant improvement in their asthma. Omega 3 Fatty Acids Prevent Serious Mental Health ProblemsTuesday, February 02, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The use of atypical anti-psychotic medication to treat and prevent serious mental health problems such as schizophrenia is barbaric and causes severe adverse health effects including sexual dysfunction, obesity, and diabetes. A new randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted between 2004 and 2007 shows that fish oil may well be the answer. Newsweek Exposes the Fraud of AntidepressantsTuesday, February 02, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) In a blistering article Newsweek explains the story of the cover up of the ineffectiveness of antidepressants. Americans are wondering how to contain health care costs. One of the best ways is for government programs not to pay for drug-based treatment options that cannot show effectiveness. Omega 3 Oils Slow Aging by Preserving TelomeresMonday, February 01, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Omega 3 oils, especially DHA, are routinely in the headlines for their extensive science demonstrating the ability to reduce heart disease, lower triglycerides, improve brain function, help weight management, and reduce the chronic low-grade inflammation associated with virtually any disease of aging. A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows for the first time that omega 3 oils also possess a powerful anti-aging characteristic – the preservation of telomeres. Magnesium Boosts Brain FunctionSunday, January 31, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new animal study shows that intake of magnesium above what is traditionally considered the normal dietary amount has a dramatic effect on improving multiple aspects of memory and learning, findings that held true for both young and old. How Zinc Helps Prevent DiabetesSaturday, January 30, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Zinc is needed by over 300 enzyme systems. Some of those are involved with the metabolism of blood sugar and are so important that a lack of zinc, in and of itself, can cause type I or type II diabetes. Taurine Enhances the Function of InsulinFriday, January 29, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Science now shows that the amino acid taurine is a helpful tool in supporting the production of insulin and insulin sensitivity – two major issues for any person seeking solutions for blood sugar issues. Generally taurine is thought of as a relaxing nutrient due to its function within your nervous system. It is also a general tonic to your heart. Grape Seed Extract Lowers White Adipose Tissue InflammationThursday, January 28, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) One of the most devastating health aspects of being overweight is the change in immune system status within white adipose tissue fat stores. There is a major shift of macrophages into the white adipose tissue which act in a highly inflammatory manner to alter the function of stored fat so that it becomes metabolically incompetent as well as directly adding to the overall inflammatory burden of one’s body. This is why obesity is associated with more prevalence and earlier onset of any of the diseases of aging (cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, etc). A new study shows that grape seed extract can turn down the inflammatory signals and consequent free radical damage from these white adipose tissue macrophages. Zinc Reduces Rates of Pneumonia and All-Cause MortalityWednesday, January 27, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Boston-area public health researchers present evidence that low zinc is present in 29% of their study population (adults over age 65). They found that low zinc doubled the risk for developing pneumonia as well as doubling the length of time the illness lasted. Even more importantly, independent of infections, low zinc was associated with a 39% increase in all-cause mortality. Boron Boosts Bone StrengthTuesday, January 26, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture are proving that the trace mineral boron contributes significantly to bone strength. Evidence has been building for a number of years that boron is needed for bone health, brain function, and immunity. In the latest study it was shown that deprivation of boron in mice resulted in weaker bones that broke easier than bones that were boron adequate. Cissus Quadrangularis – A Potent Bone BuilderTuesday, January 26, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The herb Cissus quadrangularis is widely used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for its profound bone healing and bone mending properties. New scientific exploration is helping to document the power of this unique bone support nutrient. The latest study shows that it directly helps bone marrow make the bone-building carpenter cells known as osteoblasts as well as directly promoting the formation of calcium matrix (new bone). Whey Protein Directly Boosts ImmunityMonday, January 25, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study shows that whey protein helps front line immune troops move around better and gobble up invaders. Whey protein helps keep your immune cells primed and ready for action. Snacking on the RiseSunday, January 24, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) I have long warned that American snacking is inducing malfunctioning leptin. In turn this causes weight gain and early onset of disease. I was the first to explain this problem back in 2002 in my book, Mastering Leptin. Apparently Americans are not catching on. A new study shows that snacking is on the rise. This predicts higher levels of poor health and increased health care costs. Omega 3 Oils Help Correct Leptin Gene ProblemsSaturday, January 23, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A detailed gene study involving 1754 adults, some with metabolic syndrome and some without, showed that those who were low in omega 3 oils like DHA were more likely to manifest gene problems with leptin. Higher Fiber Prevents Weight Gain and Abdominal Fat GainFriday, January 22, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A large European study followed the diets of 89,432 participants for 6 years. It found that those with 10 grams higher of fiber intake per day weighed less and had smaller waistlines. Health Scandal of the Decade – Monsanto’s GMO Perversion of FoodTuesday, January 19, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) In the 2010 growing season Monsanto plans to unleash its latest Frankenfood experiment on the American and Canadian public, a new version of genetically mutated corn with eight abnormal gene traits called Genuity SmartStax corn. It is the culmination of an astonishing scandal that has been steadily building over the past decade. During this time Monsanto’s mutated seeds have grown to 90% of the U.S. soy crop and 85% of the corn crop – and wheat is next on their agenda. Their efforts have been marked by corporate bullying and have drawn the attention of the Justice Department who is conducting an antitrust investigation. All the while they have been spending millions on lobbying to fast track their agenda before the American public even realizes what hit them. Monsanto is making an ominous power play to corner the worldwide market on food and seeds. In the process they are adversely altering the very nature of food itself. Bisphenol A Linked to Increased Rate of Heart DiseaseMonday, January 18, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) While the FDA drags its feet on Bisphenol A (BPA) regulation so as to stave off a flood of lawsuits against the plastics industry, British researchers have documented that United States citizens have a 33% higher risk for coronary artery disease if they have higher levels of Bisphenol A. FDA Continues to Drag Its Feet on Bisphenol ASunday, January 17, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) On January 15, 2010 the FDA issued a report saying, at along last, that it was concerned about Bisphenol A (BPA), a toxic additive in plastic so pervasive it is in 90% of urine samples. The FDA said it had “some concern about the potential effects of BPA on the brain, behavior, and prostate gland in fetuses, infants, and young children.” Vitamin D with Calcium Reduces Fracture RiskSaturday, January 16, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A large study involving 68,517 participants has shown that vitamin D taken with calcium reduces fractures for both men and women of any age. Tocotrienols Prevent Excitotoxic Brain Cell DeathFriday, January 15, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Researchers at Ohio State University have shown that alpha tocotrienol, a special kind of vitamin E, can neutralize the chain of events that commonly leads to brain cell death, an ability that not only offers general protection from common pollution and stress but also preserves the brain following stroke. Resveratrol Blocks Infection-Induced Nerve DamageThursday, January 14, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The neurotoxicity of infections is a major problem facing anyone, especially the very young and the elderly. In the very young these toxins can disturb brain structure and function resulting in a variety of problems ranging from ADHD to Autism-related disorders. In the elderly these toxins can cause significant memory loss and cognitive decline. A new study shows that resveratrol can significantly protect nerves from the toxicity of infection. Grape Seed Extract Helps Type II Diabetic PatientsWednesday, January 13, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Individuals with Type II Diabetes are at particular high risk for cardiovascular disease. In a double-blinded randomized crossover trial 32 type II Diabetic patients were given 600 mg of grape seed extract or placebo each day for four weeks. The results were very positive as the researchers concluded that grape seed extract use in Type II Diabetics “may have a therapeutic role in decreasing cardiovascular risk.” L-Theanine Helps Memory, Prevents Beta Amyloid Induced Nerve Cell DeathTuesday, January 12, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) L-theanine’s original claim to fame is as a relaxing nutrient. Taken before bed it can help you sleep. Taken during the day it can help you relax and focus. A new study significantly expands on the nerve benefits of L-theanine, showing that it can prevent the accumulation and biological adverse effects of peptide amyloid beta, the compound associated with progressive mental decline and Alzheimer’s disease. L-Theanine Offsets Age-Impaired Immunity and Boosts Flu Fighting AbilityTuesday, January 12, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Older mice supplemented with L-theanine and L-cystine for 10 days and then exposed to flu had significantly lower lung flu infections than controls. The combination directly boosted the level of cellular glutathione (GSH) in immune cells, enabling them to function as if the animals were much younger. Cold Weather Mood Shock: Avoid the Winter BluesMonday, January 11, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The combination of a lack of sun and cold weather invariably strains your mood as well as your metabolism. It is an energy-depleting form of stress, similar to having a daily argument with someone. If your energy systems are already low or your plate is full with things to do, the addition of this weather stress can be significant. Carnosine Stops Nerve ExcitotoxicitySunday, January 10, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Under stress or by exposure to various chemicals/pollution your nerves can become to excited, as if overheating. This sets off an inflammatory cascade in your brain and speeds up wear and tear. Under the most extreme experimental conditions researchers have for the first time shown that the nutrient carnosine can directly lower excessive brain excitotoxicity. Acetyl-L-Carnitine Protects Against Stress Induced NeurodegenerationSaturday, January 09, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Excessive stress in your brain is not a pretty picture. Free radicals increase resulting in toxic byproducts and damaged lipids within brain cells. Proteins misfold leading to abnormal structure and plaque (eventual Alzheimer’s or cognitive decline). Sugar cross links and causes abnormal cementing of brain structure. How is your brain supposed to survive stress? It appears that Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) may be one of your very best friends. Vitamin B6 Protects Against InflammationFriday, January 08, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study shows that individuals with the highest vitamin B6 intake had the lowest levels of inflammation. Furthermore, if you are already inflamed then you have a higher need for vitamin B6 to protect yourself. Pomegranate Suppresses the Growth of Breast CancerThursday, January 07, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Pomegranate is gaining widespread acceptance as a cardio-friendly nutrient that is also anti-cancer. In the new study researchers showed that pomegranate can reduce the influence of hormones to provoke breast cancer cell proliferation, leading the authors to conclude that pomegranate compounds “have potential for the prevention of estrogen-responsive breast cancers.” Pomegranate Blocks Flu ReplicationThursday, January 07, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Add pomegranate to your list of immune boosting nutrients. Researchers have discovered that the polyphenol known as punicalagin is what gives pomegranate its excellent flu-fighting characteristics. Common Antidepressants Found UselessWednesday, January 06, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study in JAMA finds that commonly used antidepressant medications are no better than placebo for mild to moderate depression. Since 13.5 million Americans who take antidepressants fall into this category, the total health expense for this fraud is 5 billion dollars per year. Vitamin C Reverses Premature AgingTuesday, January 05, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Vitamin C is starting out 2010 on a major roll. A new animal study shows that vitamin C can reverse premature aging – offsetting a genetic weakness that predisposes to early aging, early disease, and early death. Excess Carbohydrate Cravings Indicate Bone LossMonday, January 04, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study sheds new light on a primary mechanism behind bone loss. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a normal appetite signal from your brain. It is especially linked to the desire for carbohydrates. However, too much desire such as the proverbial sweet tooth may directly induce bone loss. Silymarin Reduces Toxicity of ChemotherapySunday, January 03, 2010 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The goal of chemotherapy is to poison cancer to death before the poison does too much damage to one’s body. The liver is a particular weak spot as it is the organ that must process this extreme dose of toxin. New research shows that Silymarin (milk thistle) can significantly reduce the liver damage thereby allowing for the potential of a more successful treatment.
